  • Patent number: 10651750
    Abstract: A constant on-time isolated converter comprises a transformer with a primary side and a secondary side. The primary side is connected to an electronic switch and secondary-side is connected to a load and a processor. The processor is connected to a driver on primary side through at least one coupling element and to the electronic switch. The processor receives an output voltage or an output current across the load generating a control signal accordingly. The driver receives the control signal through the coupling element and accordingly changes the ON/OFF state of the electronic switch, regulating the output voltage and the output current via the transformer, where the duration of the ON/OFF state of the electronic switch is determined between the moment control signal changes from negative to positive and the moment it changes from positive to negative to achieve a high-speed load transient response.

  • Patent number: 10360656
    Abstract: An image displaying system and an image displaying method are provided. The image displaying system includes a liquid crystal screen with a display area. Firstly, an original frame corresponding to an image signal is shown on the display area at a first time point. Then, an adjusted image is shown on the display area at a second point according to a setting information. The adjusted image and the original frame have different contents. Then, the adjusted image is not shown but the original frame is shown on the display area at a third time point. The time difference between the third time point and the first time point is not larger than a response time period corresponding to the human persistence of vision. Consequently, the image sticking problem or an image retention phenomenon of the liquid crystal displaying technology is overcome.

  • Patent number: 10298144
    Abstract: A power conversion system and a method for voltage change detection, specifically, relates to a detection circuit implemented in the AC-DC power converter, detect the voltage change. The AC input voltage is rectified to convert into a DC input voltage transmitted to a detection unit generating a detection voltage signal at different logical states corresponding to the input voltage changes. A charge current source unit is used for charging the capacitor when the detection voltage signal is in a second state and a discharge current source unit is used for discharging the capacitor when the detection voltage signal is in a first state. A primary comparator compares the voltage changes of the capacitor in the alternating charge and discharge processes with a critical zero potential and outputs a detection signal identifying the changing trend of the input voltage.
